iText header: add logo img on the left side and text on the right side

I´m new to iText. I would like to make a header that will be the same on each page. The page header will look something like this:

logo.jpg                                                                       some text

How can I do that? I have read this link:

http://developers.itextpdf.com/question/how-generate-report-dynamic-header-pdf-using-itextsharp

and I have a problem because I cant add an image to pharse.

Image image = Image.GetInstance(Server.MapPath(mclLogo));
phrase.Add(image);

Throws the Error:

Insertion of illegal Element: 32

Edit: I have tried with paragraph and glue:

Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
paragraph.Add(image);
paragraph.Add(new Chunk(glue));
paragraph.Add("text on the right");

and the output is 2 lines. somthing link this:

logo.jpg
                                                                                some text

edit 2: I have read this: http://developers.itextpdf.com/content/itext-7-jump-start-tutorial/chapter-1-introducing-basic-building-blocks espacially the part: 

Image fox = new Image(ImageDataFactory.create(FOX));
Image dog = new Image(ImageDataFactory.create(DOG));
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("The quick brown ")
        .add(fox)
        .add(" jumps over the lazy ")
        .add(dog);
document.add(p);

but I use iText5 and I dont find any way how to make a picture and text in the same line.

Try below code, which works with two different Header plot which plotted at right end with image and Left end one with text.

public override void OnStartPage(PdfWriter writer, iTextSharp.text.Document document)
{
        PdfPTable HeaderPlot = new PdfPTable(new float[] { 10F });//Header plot 1
        PdfPTable HeaderPlot2 = new PdfPTable(new float[] { 10F });//Header plot 2
        PdfPCell cell;//cell 1
        PdfPCell cell2;// cell 2
        HeaderPlot.TotalWidth = 570F; //width for Header plot 1
        HeaderPlot2.TotalWidth = 570F;//width for Header plot 2
        cell = new PdfPCell();
        cell2 = new PdfPCell();
        string path = headerpath;
        FileInfo f2 = new FileInfo(path);
        FileStream fs = new FileStream(f2.FullName,
        FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
        BinaryReader rdr = new BinaryReader(fs);
        byte[] fileData = rdr.ReadBytes((int)fs.Length);
        Image image = Image.GetInstance(fileData);
        image.ScaleAbsolute(80, 40); //adjusting image size
        image.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
        cell = new PdfPCell(image)
        {
            Border = 0,
            HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_TOP,
            VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_TOP
        };//Header image position
        Font font = FontFactory.GetFont("Calibri Light", 8f, Font.NORMAL, 
        iTextSharp.text.BaseColor.BLACK);//Initializing font
        cell2 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Text", font))
        {
            Border = 0,
            HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT,
            VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_TOP
        };//Header Text position
        HeaderPlot.AddCell(cell);//adding cell 1 to Headerplot 1
        HeaderPlot.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 480, 835, 
        writer.DirectContent);//Position of the header on right end, coordinates on right end(480,835)
        HeaderPlot2.AddCell(cell2);//adding cell 2 to Headerplot 2
        HeaderPlot2.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 40, 835, 
        writer.DirectContent);//Position of the header on left end, coordinates on left end(40,835)
    }
